FRENCH SPoLIATIoN DECIsIoNs.--The
Coun of Claims yesterday decided that the
treaties of 1878 with Francs ceased to exist
as an international liability after July Z,
1898. After full examination of the naval
operations in the West Iudies between 1892
and 1900 the court concludes that France
did not maintain blockade of the English
possessions there, and that American YES
sells bound to British West Indian ports were
not good prizes on the ground that they
were bound to olockaded or besieged port.
Among the cases to which this decision hes
immediate reference is that ofthe ship Eliza,

to the third party Prohibitionists:
within the past few years much has
been done by law to fetter and destroy
the saloon. Thousands of saloons have
been closed by high license and tax
laws. Thousand of communities have
been entirely rid of the traffic by local
option laws. Several states have adopt.
ed prOhibitory amendments to theiI
constitutions.
"Now we desire to know:
1. "Has the third party ever secured
as party. the adoption of a prOhi5itory
amendment or statutory prohibition
law in a single state?

ever rid single community of the

AMERICAN engineering has met with
a serious loss in the death of James B.
Eads. He was man of gigantic scope,
and some of his practical accomplish

Waters and its tributaries have been
the scenes of his most active endsavor
and here be met with his most distin.
guished success. The st. Louis bridge,
and jetties at the mouth of the Missis-

had he lived, it is quite possible that his
wonderful conception, the ship railway
across the lsthmus of Tehuan epec,
would have been completed and eclipsed
all the former of his works.

What Makes a Good Editor.

Henry Watterson says: Some peo-
pie estimate the ability of IA periodical
and the talent of its editor by the
amount it contains of original matter.
1t is comparatively an easy task for a
frothy writer to spring out column OF
words upon any and all subjects. His
ideas may flow on in a weak. washy,
everlasting food. and the command of
his language may enable him to tie
them together like bunch of onions.
and yet paper may be but a meager
and poor concern. Indeed, the mere
writing part of editing paper is but a
small portion of the work. The care,
the time employed in selecting, is far
mere important, and the fact Of coed
editor is better shown by his selections
than anything else; and that, we know,
is half the battle"

room for several months, no alarming symp-

than usual, and was looking forward to the
pleasant enjoyment of the company of her sis
ter, who had came down to visit her. She was
taken suddenly and dangerously i'll about IL

cans, on the alleged ground of its being
defective. There was clear case of
forgery of the foulest type in Columbus
in October 1885, and the whole Demo-
cratic party has stood by it ever since
and perverted the machinery of justice
to prevent the punishment of some
of the most fragrant and mcnstrous
crimes ever committed in a civilized
state. The action of the Judge, accused
by his Own party friends of having
